Smell of Mercaptan will allow us to detect the Compressed natural gas. The smell is similar to the LPG used in our homes for cooking.

Explanation:

Compressed natural gas is heavier than air and tends to settle down near the ground. In case there is a leakage of CNG the air near the ground surface will be displaced and get filled with CNG. This may result in aphyxiation i.e. lack of oxygen in enclosed places.

CNG is odorless and cannot be detected by smell. In order to make the detection possible, a small amount of mercaptan is added to CNG so that its smell is easily detected.

Answer:

Tech A

Explanation:

The amount of energy required to apply the same force with a 1:1 ratio is divided into 4, so you can apply 4 times as much force than a 1:1 ratio. efficiency and speed come into play here, but assuming the machine powering the gear can run at a unlimited RPM, 4:1 will have more force and a slower output speed than a 2:1 ratio.

allsm [11]

Answer:

The difference of head in the level of reservoir is 0.23 m.

Explanation:

For pipe 1

$d_1=50 mm,f_1=0.0048$

For pipe 2

$d_2=75 mm,f_2=0.0058$

Q=2.8 l/s

$Q=2.8\times 10^{-3]$

We know that Q=AV

$Q=A_1V_1=A_2V_2$

$A_1=1.95\times 10^{-3}m^2$

$A_2=4.38\times 10^{-3} m^2$

$So V_2=0.63 m/s,V_1=1.43 m/s$

head loss (h)

$h=\dfrac{f_1L_1V_1^2}{2gd_1}+\dfrac{f_2L_2V_2^2}{2gd_2}+0.5\dfrac{V_1^2}{2g}$

Now putting the all values

$h=\dfrac{0.0048\times 15\times 1.43^2}{2\times 9.81\times 0.05}+\dfrac{0.0058\times 24\times 0.63^2}{2\times 9.81\times 0.075}+0.5\dfrac{1.43^2}{2\times 9.81}$
